AllMusic Review
by John Storm Roberts

These recordings come from the archives of Radio Sofia, covering the 1970s to the 1990s, but largely from the earlier decade. Some of the performers involved are obviously "official" folk groups, some are much nearer to the fields, but most have a strength and vitality that comes from remaining close to the roots. A few cuts are accompanied by flute or bagpipe, but most are a cappella.
